Diesel Fuel Performance Improvers / Cetane Boosters

There is a direct relationship between a diesel fuel's cetane number and its ignition point. Delayed ignition is a primary cause of high emissions and inferior engine performance, and there is a direct relationship between a diesel fuel’s cetane number and its ignition point. The lower the cetane number, the longer the ignition delay. Fuels with high cetane numbers burn more quickly and more completely, resulting in smoother-running engines with less power lag, lower emissions and easier engine starting.
